I'm trying to automate my program to submit this form by pressing the "Calculate Time Only" button.
use WWW::Mechanize;
open(OUTFILE, '>c:\Perl output.txt') or die "Can't open output.\n";
open(UPSOUT, '>c:\Perl UPSoutput.txt') or die "Can't open output.\n";
$url = "http://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_US&WT.svl=SubNav";
my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new();
$mech->get($url);
$form1 = "form1";
$mech->form_name($form1);
$mech->set_fields(
origPostal =>"53213",
destPostal =>"60056",
);
$mech->field("transitTimeOnly", "Calculate Time Only");
$mech->submit($form1);
my $results2 = $mech->content;
print OUTFILE $results2;
die;
I get no errors, but the content of $mech is still the initial page. Why can't I submit this? How do I get it to submit?
